Clive Owen can't act to save his life. He has the most deadpan unexpresionless voice I have ever heard. Tom Welling could give him lessons.

This is so outrageous it's funny.

Look, I'm not one to bash Welling's acting because I think he can be an interesting actor when he wants to be. But giving Clive Owen acting lessons???
Owen is a miles better actor than Welling and I think that's a pretty obvious notion.

Then, you can either decide this version isn't for you and stop watching. OR you can decide to enjoy it for what it is - an elseworlds tale.

'In Elseworlds, super-heroes are taken from their usual settings and put into strange times and places - some that have existed, and others that can't, couldn't or shouldn't exist. The result is stories that make characters who are as familiar as yesterday seem as fresh as tomorrow.'

So has Tom Cruise; Oscar Golden Globe and Bafta; maybe even Brad Pitt as well. I stand by that Clive is one of the worst actors in film to date, especially from Europe which exports few bad actors. The most mundane and expressionless acting I have ever seen. And the Tom welling comment was a joke on how bad I think Clive Owen is.

Do we know of anyone that is rumored to be up for Lex Luthor? Shouldn't we have heard something by now? I'm mean most of the rest of the cast has been filled out. Shouldn't we be hearing about a shor list, or something.

Meh to each his own. People say the same thing about Bale and it doesn't bother me.

I like Clive Owen, I think he'd make a fantastic Luthor and would be Snyder's kind of guy. I think being 'straight faced' or 'expressionless' would actually be a good acting skill to have for the businessman Luthor, and I've seen enough of his work to know he can also pull of charming and angry very well.

Do I think he has much of a chance? Probably not. But I'll dance for joy if his name appears in even a rumour

It was just the Welling thing just made me bite

Most of the cast has NOT been filled. About half has been. we have Jonathan, martha, Lois, Zod and Supes so far...
we still have Lex, Jor-el, Lara, perry, and Jimmy to go. Thats not even taking into account lesser roles that will be in it.

You'll definitely see the logo there. I'd guess not as big a presence as Batman though. We're further away. However, WB did say they are going to be pushing Batman & Superman heavy leading up to the films. Pushing the characters at all levels.

Just a guess, but i'd say superman homepage has more members, although I think more postings go on here in our superman section.
I'm not sure about K site, but thats more of a Sv thing.
Eyes skyward is fairly active as well, just not as much as here.
If there is a bigger one thats more active than here, then I don't know about it.

On a more serious note, that link you put shows how good Owen is as an actor. He's such a prick in that movie it's totally perfect for Luthor.

Exactly what I thought. Made me wanna watch the whole thing, but I don't wanna get too wrapped up in the idea of him or I'll be dissapointed when it probably isn't.

I just promised a pal of mine on Twitter I'd be equally *****y on the DC side of the Licensing International Expo as I just was on Marvel with that Avengers promo art. So here it is.

ESQ (via Twitter) has got a snap-shot of what may, or may not, be early promo art for Zack Snyder's Superman reboot The Man of Steel. In typically vague teaser fashion (and following in the foot-steps of the original Superman Returns teaser one-sheet), all we get is the classic \S/ symbol.

Not much to go off of truth be told, from a logo we've all been familiar with for the past couple of decades. Once we get our first honest-to-Christ look at Henry Cavill in character, then I'd (along with 95% of the internetas a whole) be a picky *****.
